دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقُلْتُ لَهُ لِي جَارٌ يُؤْذِينِي فَقَالَ ارْحَمْهُ فَقُلْتُ لَا رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فَصَرَفَ وَجْهَهُ عَنِّي قَالَ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَدَعَهُ فَقُلْتُ يَفْعَلُ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ يَفْعَلُ بِي وَ يُؤْذِينِي فَقَالَ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَاشَفْتَهُ انْتَصَفْتَ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى أُرْبِي عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ ذَا مِمَّنْ يَحْسُدُ النَّاسَ عَلَى مَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَى نِعْمَةً عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَكَانَ لَهُ أَهْلٌ جَعَلَ بَلَاءَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ أَهْلٌ جَعَلَهُ عَلَى خَادِمِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ خَادِمٌ أَسْهَرَ لَيْلَهُ وَ أَغَاظَ نَهَارَهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي اشْتَرَيْتُ دَاراً فِي بَنِي فُلَانٍ وَ إِنَّ أَقْرَبَ جِيرَانِي مِنِّي جِوَاراً مَنْ لَا أَرْجُو خَيْرَهُ وَ لَا آمَنُ شَرَّهُ قَالَ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) وَ سَلْمَانَ وَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَ نَسِيتُ آخَرَ وَ أَظُنُّهُ الْمِقْدَادَ أَنْ يُنَادُوا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ بِأَعْلَى أَصْوَاتِهِمْ بِأَنَّهُ لَا إِيمَانَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَأْمَنْ جَارُهُ بَوَائِقَهُ فَنَادَوْا بِهَا ثَلَاثاً ثُمَّ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ دَاراً مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umer and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Al Husayn Bin Is’haq, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Ali Bin Fazzal, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, altogether from Muawiya Bin Ammar, from Amro bin Ikrama who said: ‘I went over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘There is a neighbour of mine who is bothering me’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Be merciful to him’. So I said, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> not have Mercy on him’. So he<sup>asws</sup> turned his<sup>asws</sup> face away from me, so I disliked leaving him<sup>asws</sup> (like this), so I said, ‘He has done such and such with me, and keeps on doing it and is bothering me’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What is your view, if I<sup>asws</sup> were to bring him into the open, would you turn out to be more just than him?’ So I said, ‘Yes, I would exceed (in fairness) upon him’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: That one is from the ones who envy the people upon what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Given them from His<sup>azwj</sup> Grace. So when he sees a Bounty upon anyone, and if there was a family for him, he would be like a curse upon them, and if there does not happen to be a family for him, he would make it to be upon his servant. So if there does not happen to be a servant for him, he would stay awake during his night and be wrathful by his day. A man from the Helpers came over to Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> and he said, ‘I bought a house among the Clan of so and so, and the closest neighbour of mine to me is a neighbour from whom I do not hope for any goodness nor do I feel safe from his evil’. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> instructed Ali<sup>asws</sup>, and Salman<sup>as</sup>, and Abu Zarr<sup>as</sup>’, and I forgot the other one, and I think he<sup>asws</sup> mentioned Al-Miqdad’, ‘that they call out in the Masjid by the highest of their voices that, ‘There is no <span class="iTxt">Eman</span> for the one whose neighbour is not safe from him with his deeds’. So they<sup>as</sup> called out with it three (times). Then he<sup>asws</sup> gestured by his<sup>asws</sup> hand, ‘Up to forty houses from in front of him, and from behind him, and from his right and from his left (are all regarded as neighbours)’.
